As we do every month, we summarize an ongoing WebmasterWorld thread specifically designed to track Google changes. We also provide links to the most interesting Google SEO related topics we covered in the past month. You can find last month's report over here.
Here are some of the points from the WebmasterWorld thread:
- Significant ranking changes
- Google's holiday shopping algorithm
- Ranking changes from day to day
Tedster mentioned the "holiday shopping" algorithm, implying Google knows people are now in buy mode for the holiday season and maybe Google's algorithm is a bit more product/shopping sensitive these days?
